JUST IN TIME FOR ALL HALLOW'S EVE


Hard to believe its been 4 years since I recorded and released this. It feels like 10 though. I listened to it a couple of weeks ago and still found it entertaining. This uploaded version is the original recording. After previewing it to a bunch of friends and fans when it first was recorded, it was requested that I break it up into individual tracks. So I did. If you're intersted in a copy of that version as well, hit me up and I'll take care of you. In the meantime, HAPPY HALLOWEEN and ENJOY. - Z -

FRESH OFF THE PRESS & THE AIR!!!!!!!!


THE RADIO RESCUE with DJ Z - 8.25.09 Full-show w/Special Guest PROFESSOR ANARCHY

So where to begin with this...? This Show wasn't scheduled to be uploaded on here so you can listen to and download it, for quite sometime But here it is. Recently my radio station that I broadcast my show on, was put on indefinite Lock Down due to the fact that our Station Manager (and my good friend) Greg Gaughn resigned from his position with less than a week's notice, and the Dean of the College refused to hire our Music Director (who is a student @ the college & a DJ on the station) which Greg had suggested as his replacement for the job. Why? I don't know. Ask the Dean.
So anyways, the show was recorded & scheduled to air on Tues. Night - 8.25.09, but it never did. I showed up to the station to load it into the megaseg (automated music program), and was greeted by Campus Security explaining that absolutley no one was allowed in the radiostation for whaever r eason.
Long story short, the show didn't air that night and we (as in the rest of the DJs and myself) have been off the air & locked out of the station since, while the automated system runs on and on by itself. Yeah . So anyways here you go;

DJ Z's Kaatcha Blog Radio Episode 1-WARNING; THIS IS NOT HIPHOP!!!!


What's Up People? I been slacking on putting up New Posts on here, but believe me its for good reasons. I mean, how many people do you know who DJ 3 nights a week, go to school 4 days a week, work 4 jobs and have a 8 month old daughter to manage? EXACTLY. Anyways, my good friends @
http://kaatcha.blogspot.com/

asked me to be a part of their blog a little while ago, and I gladly accepted. So this is my first Blog Radio Podcast that I compiled for them, and figured I might as well post it on here as well.

The fact it isn't HipHop is appropriate because believe it or not, B-Low Radar Records is not "Strictly" a HipHop label or entity. As you will see and here in the near future, we've released songs from other types of genres in the past, and plan to continue to do so in the future. So if your into and up for some Old School Rock, Punk, Indie, Emo, Alternative and Metal, then sit back, relax and enjoy this little mix I put together for us both. And this time you have the option to listen to it if and before you decide to download it or not. I'm sure you'll appreciate that as well. Enjoy. -DJ Z-

As an Instrumental part of B-Low Radar Records, I feel I can speak on behalf of all its artists by saying, "We're sorry we've been away so long and slowed down on the number of releases we've produced over the last couple of years, but WE'RE BACK and WE'RE GOING TO MAKE UP FOR IT.". -DJ Z-

As for our first post/download here on Blogger or Blogspot, or whatever the fuck this site is called, We figured we'd hit everyone with something NEW, as well as OLD.

THE RADIO RESCUE with DJ Z hit the airwaves on 91.5FM - WDBK, in January of 2008, from 4 to 6PM. The show's original format mirrored "somewhat" the format of the station it was broadcasting on, which was Alternative, Rock, Punk, Emo, Metal, Hardcore, Etc.

DJ Z put his own spin on the show by playing older and unknown songs from bands in those genres that were around during anywhere between the 80's and Today, were consider Indie or Underground, and were not heard anywhere on the radio anymore (if ever), or on the various other shows hosted by the station.

Once the show began to develop, had loyal listeners & followers, and began to rise in popularity, the station's manager, and my very good friend Greg Gaughn, decided to let me do what I do best, which was offer me a nighttime slot (Tuesdays from 9 until midnight) as a Specialty DJ and to host an Old School, Underground, and Independent HipHop Show, free of format and the way I wanted. Of course I accepted, and so it began.

Even then the show was still very raw and unpolished, (I'd bring in my laptop, external hard drive, and used Itunes to play my tracks for each evening). Not really the way I wanted to do my show but the station had no turntables, and the cd players were your standard radio station variety, which meant no scratching, sampling, effects, NOTHING. Some of the listeners caught on and began to question; "Why don't you play records like you normally do?", "Why don't you scratch?". The answer was that I was too lazy to bring in my equipment and hook it up for every show. Plus, this is a College Radio Station, and I am a student, so the fact that I even did the show for the first year was a miracle because I was in classes all throughout at the same time.

There were a couple weeks during the first year that I couldn't make it in to do the show, (One night was because I went to see RADIOHEAD in Camden on a Tuesday, and the other was because of homework/school reasons, I think...), and these tracks on "THE RADIO RESCUE with DJ Z Volume 1" are ruff drafts of the shows that aired those two nights. Although they don't truly represent what the show is now, I felt it would be cool to release them to show the growth of myself and the show, I do enjoy listening to them, and think you will too. Since these are the only recorded shows I have for 2008, I feel they represent the essence of The Radio Rescue in its first year.

Vol.2 is already in the works and coming soon, but for now we'll just focus on getting this out and the rest of the B-Low Radar Catalog to date. -Needles-
